I hate my puns. Kill me.

         We walked to the throne room, occasionally knocking out a guard or two with Mr. Rock. I when we arrived at door of the throne room, I took a deep breath. Grabbing two torches from the wall nearby, I kicked opened the door and waved my torches around at. At. Nobody. 

          "Hmm. That's strange." 

          "They knew we were coming. Look. Usually, those rooks on he wall should hold armour and weapons for the king. Everyone go on high alert mode." Phara whispered.

           "Or, maybe everyone went out for tacos and they haven't come back yet."

           Phara gave me a 'Are you serious right now' look.

           We walked around the throne room trying to find any secret passages and doors, when Reya found something at the throne. The throne's armrests' looked like they were able to be pulled back.

            When we pulled the "armrests" the throne flipped upside down, which if anyone was sitting on it, would have pushed them to below the castle. I sat on the throne and braced myself.

            "Okay guys. Go one at a time. Be carefu-AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

            Leo pulled the handles and dropped me down. 

             "Broooo! WHAT THE F-AHHHHHHHH!" When I hit the bottom, I immediately started screaming at throwing pebbles everywhere.

             "Ehm, if you are done making a ruckus, there are some things I want to discuss with you." An old man said from behind me. His voice was kind and yet stern. 

             He was in full battle armor and had a sword hanging from his belt. 

              "Who are you?"

             "I am the king of Gloken. This castle belongs to me. If you managed to get here with no weapons, you must be quite skilled. Breaking out of prison, dispatching all the guards. That's good and bad at the same time. You are strong, but our guards are all weak. I'll make you a deal. If you help us out, I will help you with anything you want."

              "Well, I gu-"

              At that moment, Leo, Phara and Reya dropped down on top of me, all screaming as well.
               "Guys what the hell!"
               
               "Never mind that now, do you accept our proposition? You join us and fight against the Spiel army over at the north."
   
                "Sure. But, we do it our way."
